Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers: NFL Preseason Week 2 preview, live stream
This is the year a lot of people are saying Tannehill will have his breakout year.
The Miami Dolphins will visit Bank of America Stadium on Saturday night after spending two days sharing the Wofford College practice fields with the Panthers to wrap up Carolina’s training camp.
“We were re-setting the line of scrimmage in their backfield in a handful of the plays, so I’m excited about it”, Suh said. “We love the direction we’re going”. The more the Dolphins trust Tannehill, the better numbers you can expect from Landry and Matthews.
Regardless of the opponent or the circumstances leading up to the game, playing well is the name of the game.
Coming off a loss in the first week, Miami will focus on improving aspects of its game that led to the defeat. Benjamin had a solid rookie season, finishing 16th in the NFL with nine touchdown receptions. When it comes to the Miami Dolphins, that someone is defensive end Cameron Wake, who has boldly claimed the Dolphins will make the playoffs in 2015. They held their own against the Bears in the opener, but the Panthers front 7 will likely present an even tougher challenge. “Again, I think he has good instincts as a football player, he’s been able to be out here every day, he competes hard”. He added, “This is definitely the year”.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he addressed Benjamin’s injury at a team meeting on Wednesday night, telling players not to lose faith in the season. The NFL team has repeatedly failed to win a playoff match since December 30, 2000.
The Miami Herald reported Friday the Panthers approached the Dolphins about dialing back the intensity so Carolina could work on its no-huddle offense. The rookie receiver was a first round pick of the Miami Dolphins and while the decision to take him off the injured list might mean that he would be seen in the field sometime soon, ESPN reports that Parker’s participation in the practices remain limited. While winning isn’t essential in the preseason – remember the undefeated 1972 Dolphins went 3-3 – it would be nice boost for a team that needs to start the season strong.
